This has been a fallow period in the history of Leeds Rhinos but, despite the distinct lack of class one of Super League’s heavyweight clubs have shown on the field since their last league title eight years ago, the one thing they never fail at is delivering off-field occasions that fit the bill.
Leeds’ annual motor neurone disease awareness day has always been one of those but this year it had extra poignance, taking place two days before the first anniversary of Rob Burrow’s death. The day itself was not only a wonderful and fitting tribute to Burrow, but a heartening reminder of how the Rhinos have continued to drive his mission to help support those living with MND and to try to find a cure.
